OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -

Overland Park, Kan., police are investigating a home invasion near 105th and Flint streets Thursday.

Police told KMBC that a woman heard a knock at her door about noon, but did not answer it. The woman barricaded herself in a bathroom and called 911 when she heard the door being kicked in, investigators said.

Police said they took one person into custody, who was waiting outside in a car. A second person was taken into custody at a doctor's office near 106th Street and Quivira Road.

Neighbor Leslie Multer said it was a scary situation.

Police said the dispatcher noted the way the woman handled the situation.

"She was really impressed how calm the homeowner was at this point. The homeowner said, 'I'm really scared, but I'm just trying to get the information to you and be really quiet,'" said Sgt. Gary Mason of the Overland Park Police Department.

He credited the woman's cool work under pressure for helping to lead to the arrests.
